Applewood Canyon

Welcome to Applewood Canyon, your typical suburban paradise bursting with wholesome Americana. With its landscaped lawns, safe and secure homes, and apple pie safely cooling on the windowsill. Everything was fine until Mr. Johnston decided to kill the Narrator. Come along with a trio of misfits as they go on a quest to dispose of the body while exploring the dark underbelly of the American Dream in this satire by Brian Canini. “Applewood Canyon is a masterclass in comic narrative structure and lyrical storytelling that peeks under the veneer of American exceptionalism and modern society. Evoking both the feeling of David Lynch's seamy underbelly vision in Blue Velvet and the commentary and wit of Dan Clowes' Ice Haven. Brian's beautiful, voyeuristic point-of-view drawings of 21st Century Americana coupled with his hilarious use of narration is completely mesmerizing. With all the twists and turns of a Twilight Zone episode gone completely haywire, Applewood Canyon is executed with surgical precision by one of today's hardest-working and talented cartoonists.” – S.R.
